Looks like the BATFE is going after AR15 Pistol Braces
« on: December 17, 2020, 05:41:12 PM »
 But they say they aren't banning them, but maybe some of them, but not quite sure which or how yet, but we will release a statement saying we are thinking about some changes....  :rolleyes:

This is going to be a mess..

I was really hoping to get an AK-V, before they started ratcheting down on regulations.

Yeah, the logic gets lost at some point.  You can't have a short barreled rifle because they are easier to conceal.  So, what you have to do is shorten the barrel AND the stock and make it even easier to conceal and then it's legal, you just have to call it something else.  But, if you lengthen it by putting a longer stock on it which would make it harder to conceal, you go to jail.

That was in the article.... everything from destroying the gun, reconfiguring to legal,  to not charging the $200 for a SBR tax stamp..... but were not sure

They allegedly raided the owner of p80.. something about getting records of the people and vendors who bought from them. Then door to door based on that list to "recover" the scary illegal stuff. I think people forget that the founding fathers did not just come back from a hunting trip when they wrote the constitution. Hell they probably had tyrants blood on them still. Interesting times.

So a brace on a 450 Bushmaster is likely a rifle, same lower on a 300 BLK is a pistol?

You can only use one hand to shoot a pistol?

Just stick with approved braces and you're good.

ATF doesn't usually go after or reneg on things they've already approved.

They got the records from stamps.com, and experion credit card processing.

Now they'll cross check the list with felons, and knock on their doors.

Hopefully not but the next four years could be a bumpy ride for gun owners.

No doubt about it... they have made that very clear.
